Groins, Groins And More Groins
Casey Rabach is listed as probable, though he did not practice all week. Coach Joe said he will be a game-time decision. Casey said he will work out hard Saturday and re-evaluate then. As an aside, I'd be remiss not to mention that Casey has perhaps the hairiest back I...
